Tick Problem Here On Long Island

Long Island and more particularly the east end of Long island like the Hamptons and surrounding areas are some of the worst areas in the country for the spread of and incidents of tick and mosquito borne diseases such as Lyme disease and Encephalitis. The deer tick is the main culprit and the disease is spread to the tick from mice NOT deer, although they call it the deer tick giving a false impression of origination. There are several other tick borne diseases worth mentioning, those being Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis. Both of these come with their own specific set of mild to severe symptoms and can be life threatening like Lyme Disease. Mosquitos can spread diseases as well like the now emerging Zika virus.

The East end of Long Island is a very special area and unique in so many ways with its pristine environment and local feel to our communities. For twenty years Alternative Earthcare has been servicing the east end of Long Island and the Hamptons.

TICK SPRAY APPLICATION

April – This is the foundation of tick control. Eliminating the emerging adult ticks before the reproduce is the key to success in tick control on Long Island NY.

May to June – This application is best in targeting eggs and fully mature ticks. Killing the females are imperative in tick extermination.

July to August – This tick removal application targets hatching eggs, ultimately leading to the control of a large and dangerous population of deer ticks and other common Long Island ticks.

September – Performed to maintain and kill any unwanted ticks brought into your home or on your property through clothing transfer, pets and other reasons.

October to November – This is when ticks on Long Island become most aggressive. In an attempt to feed before hibernation, ticks are the biggest problem on Long Island NY.

Non – Spray Tick Control:

Spring/Fall – Damminix tick applications. Best for use in yards near woods or fields. Tubes of tick poisoned cotton treated with Premetherin which are strategically places around your property. Rodents and other small animals are huge carriers of ticks. By smaller animals using this cotton as bedding in the wooded area’s we are able to take the treatment deeper into the woods where the ticks live and populate.
